Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • $ (0.064)\times {{(0.4)}^{7}}={{(0.4)}^{?}}\times {{(0.0256)}^{2}} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ {{(0.4)}^{3}}\times {{(0.4)}^{7}}={{(0.4)}^{?}}\times {{(0.4)}^{4\times 2}} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ {{(0.4)}^{3+7}}={{(0.4)}^{?}}\times {{(0.4)}^{8}} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ \frac{{{(0.4)}^{10}}}{{{(0.4)}^{8}}}={{(0.4)}^{?}} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ {{(0.4)}^{10-8}}={{(0.4)}^{?}} $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ {{(0.4)}^{2}}={{(0.4)}^{?}} $

$ \therefore $ $ ?=2 $
